What Is the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA)?
This is an EU procurement law. An EU regulation to boost the manufacturing of net-zero technologies in Europe, which includes requirements on sustainability and resilience when public buyers purchase such technologies.
How does the NZIA affect public procurement?
When buying net-zero technologies such as solar panels, heat pumps or batteries, public buyers must apply minimum sustainability requirements and, in some cases, consider supply-chain resilience.
Which technologies are covered?
Technologies listed in the regulation, including solar, wind, batteries and storage, heat pumps, grid technologies and electrolysers.
What does it mean for suppliers?
Price alone matters less in these tenders. Be ready to document environmental performance and where key components come from.
